Chapter 581: Making Trouble (2)_1
Listening to his daughter’s willful words, Mo Qingze felt utterly helpless, yet he couldn’t bear to have her continue worrying and being sad, "Alright, alright, alright, Dad won’t think about anything or do anything wrong. Just focus on healing and act like a lord who has everything handed to him!"
Mo Yan remained unconvinced and threatened with a stern face, "You said it yourself. I will remember this, and if you don’t follow through, don’t blame me for burning all the treasures in your study."
Mo Qingze never imagined his usually sensible daughter could be so "unreasonable," and he found himself between laughter and tears, but with no choice but to compromise, "Don’t worry, Dad will keep his word. I will heal properly and won’t faint in the examination hall for you to come and pick me up."
Only then did Mo Yan feel satisfied, and she poured a cup of Spirit Spring Water for her father. She understood his intentions and hoped he would achieve success in the autumn examinations, but she wished even more for her father to be healthy and live a long life. Staying up all night was of no benefit to his health, and although the Spirit Spring Water and those spiritual creatures were beneficial to the body, they were not miracle cures for all ailments. If this year’s autumn examination had such an effect on him, what would happen during next year’s grand competition? Would he be risking his life?
Mo Qingze wanted to say that drinking too much water would lead to frequent trips to the latrine, possibly straining his wound, but in front of his daughter, he felt too embarrassed to speak such indelicate words and reluctantly drank the water.
After finishing the water, he inquired about the beast that had caused the injuries, "Uncle Han told me that the wild beast was subdued by you and followed you back home. There were many in the village who saw it. Could this possibly cause any trouble?"
Mo Yan nodded and recounted what Yang Bao had come to say. Seeing her father anxious to sit up, she quickly stopped him, "Dad, don’t worry. I’ll send the Golden Beast away tonight, so those people don’t have an excuse to make trouble."
Hearing this, Mo Qingze became even more worried, "If the beast is so fierce and has followed you home, how could it be so easily sent away? Don’t provoke it to anger and get yourself hurt!"
